Does this plank suggest burning down the buildings that were built by the racists or maybe scrapping Rhodes bursary at Oxford?

You have a point. If I'm honest, I've always equated statue/memorial attacks with the Taliban pulling down ancient worship sites. And as my dad and my uncle were in Bomber Command, I'd be seething if their memorial was defaced, despite the utter lunacy and ineffectiveness of the area-bombing campaign. But here, what about this one? :emoticon-0112-wonde

I live near Highgate. Might go and defend Uncle Karl's headstone, if the EDL ****ers ever get off the K cider and Kestrel snakebites long enough to actually try <ok>

Here's a question...Does trial by jury actually work?

I'm just looking around a few forums, and the prospect of getting a dozen people to actually agree on anything seems remote, so it suggests that the decision is actually made by the loudest few, with the others just glad to get out and go home.

They might now they know that they won't have to go to Court for it, now that criminal damage is no longer a crime. <ok>

It's open season now for wanton destruction of statues, monuments and property that you particularly find offensive.

They've opened a hornet's nest now <ok>

The same rule WILL have to apply to those that are offended by history, no matter what their reasons.

One rule has to apply for all essentially <ok>

Last year a man was jailed for 15 years for burning a rainbow flag in America.

Not necess celery. It was a jury decision. Each case will be different. I think they were guilty, personally I would have acquitted. Brilliant wind up of The Gammon.
